TRS-ARM — Comms
TRS-ARM uses the same hardware interfaces as TRS-GND and TRS-ECU.
Interface Usage in TRS-ARM
| Interface | Role in TRS-ARM |
|---|---|
| RFM95W (915 MHz LoRa) | Arming radio link to TRS-GND |
| FC Switch (NMOS1/NMOS2) | Active — arms/disarms Easy Mini flight computer |
| GC-XPORT-ENH (Ethernet) | Not connected in flight |
| USB-C | Pre-flight debug/flash only |

TRS-ARM communicates only via radio during flight. There is no wired Ethernet connection once the rocket is integrated.
FC Switch Protocol
The FC switch is controlled by the STM32 in response to arm/disarm commands received over the LoRa link from the ground.
| Command (from ground) | STM32 Action | FC Switch State |
|---|---|---|
| ARM | Assert LOGICA1 / LOGICB1 | Closed — Easy Mini powered |
| DISARM | De-assert LOGICA1 / LOGICB1 | Open — Easy Mini unpowered |
